The Thomas Moore Johnson Correspondence provides sixty biographical profiles of letter writers from around the world whose letters arrived in Osceola, Missouri in the mid-1880s, before family and career responsibilities led Johnson to relinquish his role as US President of the council of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor. Reviewing three dozen of these correspondents for whom we have birth dates, including a few non-correspondents discussed in multiple letters, I see a surprising and overwhelming number of fire sign births: 8 Aries, 6 Leo, 5 Sagittarius out of a total of 38 so 50% fire. Will post every ten days with profiles and/or newspaper stories about these several dozen individuals by decanate of birth starting with Johnson himself. Grimke up next as the only second decanate Aries but the third decanate includes five notable individuals in the spiritual family tree.
